Tonight HBO airs the 2nd episode of The Pacific. I loved Band of Brothers and The Pacific is pretty damn good. Last weeks episode setup some of the characters, and I hope that this weeks episode provides some more depth. You have to live HBO for having the balls to push for these long mini-series with amazing production. I’ll probably post a overall review when the entire series is over. Stay tuned.
So a couple weeks ago I picked up the Microsoft Arc Keyboard. I liked the overall design, but I had a difficult time typing with it. Something about the pressure of the keys and the space bar was causing everything I type to be in a big block of text. I took it back to Best Buy today and picked up the Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000, which is a standard keyboard with a slight curve and a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000. I had the Wireless Mouse 5000, but I broke the receiver while cleaning my computer, so it was a nice bonus to get that mouse again. I am pretty happy having a new fancy keyboard that I can type on again. Also the performance of the Arc with games wasn’t that great. Just too small for a crazy FPS.
I picked up a Microsoft Arc Wireless Keyboard today at Best Buy while picking up MLB: The Show 10 today. Total impulse buy and so far so good. It is very tiny! Reminds me of my netbook keyboard, but with a slight curve. It feels pretty nice to type on, but I am making a fair amount of mistakes since changing from my good ol’ Microsoft Curve 2000, which has been my favorite keyboard for a couple years now. Check out the photos which will give you an idea of how small this keyboard is!!
I remember when my good pal Chris Croft had me listen to a strange band in his Mustang back in 1995. I remember vividly driving down H Street plugging in the tape adapter to listen to Spacehog. Sadly I never got the chance to see them live way back when but fast forward 15 years (holy shit!!) and 3,000 miles to my new home in Boston and I get the chance to see them live. They played some of my favorites, In the Meantime and others from their first album Resident Alien such as Space is the Place, Spacehog, and Zeroes. It was a great show. They were a little rusty, even cracking jokes how they forgot some of their songs, but it brought me back to rocking out so many years ago.
I installed WordPress 2.0 for the iPhone and so far no major issues. It is pretty standard but does the job!
Mew started their short tour to promote their new album No More Stories Saturday in Boston at the Paradise Rock Club. Mew opened with New Terrain, which was astonishing to see performed live, then played seamlessly into Introducing Palace Players. It was a wall of sound that is rarely heard. The layering of sound was incredible. Mew played for the next hour and twenty minutes covering their entire catalog. Like previous Mew shows, they included a video projector synced to the music, including cats and rabbits playing violins. One of the great moments in the background video is during Sometimes Life Isn’t Easy where they have guys dancing synced to the clapping and stopping their feet, then it changes to kids singing the chorus. As always Mew is an amazing sight to see live and I’ll always see them if they are playing.

Living without cable makes you do many things, including catch up on television shows you never paid attention too. I finally decided to check out Battlestar Galactica this weekend, starting with the mini-series and then onto Season 1 and the start of Season 2. I love something with a sci-fi theme, and BSG holds up pretty well. The characters are pretty good, the story is pretty strong, and the interrelationships between characters has pulled me in. I hope it keeps up and stays strong. Don’t spoil it for me!
I got an iPhone 3GS a couple of days ago and I found an application to post to my blog. So here is the test!
As you can probably see I am tweaking the theme of the good old WordPress site. Exploring new themes and plugins to best have the info I want to display. Stay tuned.
